WARNING: This number is now used by a scam air duct cleaner called either "Air Duct Cleaning" or as "Air Care", phone number 888-230-3970.
They list themselves as being endorsed by the Better Business Bureau: they are NOT.
They list themselves as being licensed in California: they are NOT.
They list themselves as being licensed in Los Angeles: they are NOT.

They may be associated by another company by the same name at a different location, with a Better Business Bureau BBB rating of "F".

They prey on senior citizens and others with an advertisement in a local coupon circular such as Clipper Magazine, offering a coupon for "whole house duct cleaning" for $39.95.  That is impossible to do at that price for a legitimate company, and most houses don't need it.  That is one of the reasons why you have a filter in your air conditioner/heating system.  Check for yourself.  Call a reputable A/C company for information, or check with the BBB, or with your state department for consumer affairs.

Many people have been scammed and ripped off by these so-called duct cleaners.  Don't be one of them.

LOL

I also received a letter back in june 2012 and a call asking me who my attorney was to handle the case. I told them your mama, lol.  This company is based out of Canada and the mailing address for payment is based out of  New York thru a mailing company that would forward the mail to another address. The mailing company is called IMS.  What has happened is IA has bought outstanding debts with different companies at a fraction of the cost for the original company.  This is something alot of collection agencies do right here in the good ole USA, they then try to make a profit by breaking little laws to make you send the full payment.  Has it ever occurred to some of you why some agencies say well the bill is 500 but if you send the payment within the next 2 days you can  pay 200 and we will wipe the slate clean.  The original company has funds set up to offset delinquent accounts so, they can make a little money from the agencies and be done with it.  You will not go to court because now this is a third party to a debt they MADE THE DECISION  to endow.  Your bill is so small that it would cost too much for the original company to take to court and still not get paid even by winning because it would most likely go as a judgment against you and if you don't win the lottery they wont get paid anyway.  Alot of times these things don't even show up on your credit report.  Relax, these situations will teach people about the GET RICH QUICK schemes and maybe they will find real jobs.

This place is a scam if u call the toll free number on there site you get the same people as the 312 area code numbers my lawyer said they are a group that scans court records for old debts then tried to collect . When I asked them for a real address they provided several different ones all which came back false ... I now have everyone I know calling them daily . Over 600 calls so far .. If you keep calling them they go crazy I encourage everyone to do the same. ....

Got a call stating somebody had taken out some kind of online payday loan in my name. I've never in my life done any kind of payday loan. They were able to tell me my social security number etc...They said I owed 2500 but was willing to settle on 1000 if I could make a 200.00 payment today. Was told if I didnt make some type of payment today and agree to make future payments that it would go to court and I would go to jail or even prison. Out of panic my dumbass paid them 200.00....Thank goodness the bank caught it and called me about a weird charge on my debit card and they were able to help me get it taken care of. After some research I turned them in to every agency I could find and I'm not even being close to being done...They have messed with the wrong gal!!!

What happen after anyone of you guys recieved the letter they send out ???

Thank You for that information, because I am being harrassed by this debt collection agency stating that I will have o go to court and possibly serve jail time, being a single mother of four on a low income budget this has terrified me.

I seen that same website: www.internationaladr.org, and I am wondering the same also, if they are a legal collection agency. Better if they they are reported, then mabe we will see if our responses will get us the answer.

I forgot to mention that this company is called, INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION SVCS. Is this debt collection company a scam or is it real??

First time I had received a call from this collection company was by a Sara Evans back in July 2012 stating that she was a debt collection company. I had called them back, and they stated that I wrote a bad check back in May 11, 2007 to Advance America with a Wells Fargo check. Then I received a call in mid August 2012 from a man (can't remember his name) stating on my voicemail that he needs to serve me a supena to go to court, and to let him know when's the best time to serve me, and asking if I would like to be served at my residence or work place. I called the number that Sara Evans had given me to get more information about this, and I spoke to a man that told me that the debt has went up to over $1,000 and that I can be supena to court to pay that amount and I can do jail time, This in fact had terrified me being a single mother of four children on a low income. For this, I had told them about my situation that I had just mentioned, so they agreed to settle on $405.00. I had then gave them a credit card number to withdraw that from by a certain date, but I realized that I didn't have the amount on there. So I had called over the Labor Day weekend and told them that I would have to give them another card number because the one that I had gave them might not work. Since then I had started doing my research on this company and looked up this debt collection agency and the numbers that I had from them, I kept reading that they were a scam, that this company was actually trying to get people to pay longtime or claiming that people had debts when they didn't. Although I do have a past debt with Advance America, I am not sure wether this company is legit or scam. The calls since July had since been everyday under an "UNAVAILABLE" number, about 3-5 times a day. I am not sure what to do, I am terrified. They called again today (9/7/12) two times in the same hour 9:20 am,and 9:21, I did not answer but they did leave me a voicemail stating that they ned a phone call from me TODAY or I will forfeit paying the settled amount ($405.00) and I will have to go to court.
Please help!

I got a cal from the 704 number to

No need to worry, I got a hold of an attorney, and he said the same thing about these people...they are scammers.   I received a letter from a Theresa Lucero from Internation Aribitration.  I called up to find out and the first thing she said was that I was getting sued.....they are suppose to say a clause that they are a debt collector so forth and so forth....she was so nasty and said that I was going to jail and that within 48 hours they were sending a process server....its been to weeks and nothing....she was just full of s***.   I got another call from her yesterday saying the same 48 hour b***s***....people don't go to jail for a bounced check from ten years ago.   I can't believe they think consumers will fall for these harrasing calls.  I just blocked their calls..they should go to jail.

I got a call from International Arbortration 804 302-4193. they said i owe a debt from 2008 for a payday loan. I remember this loan but never did pay it.They said i was going to jail if i did not pay at once.I asked to make a payment 14 days later on the first of the month and they said that was'nt good enough and yelled at me saying they needed a credit card number now.Well I don't get paid till the 1st but was willing to pay $200.then. He got mad and said see you in jail and hung up. three days prior i was hung up on again by another man in the so called legal dept.Never was I rude or disrespectful to them. Just trying to settle the debt.What company will refuse a near payment?

My mom just got one today from them as well saying she owed $700 to Advanced America and she's nver heard of the company.I found your post and now she feels much better.Thank you for posting this.

STUPID

I got the same sort of phone call.  This a***ole CLay JOhson who says he is an attorney, is an ignorant a**.  They wouldn't give me their business address and said I had to pay a past due debt to Advance America by phone.  Julie Walker is no better, threatening me with all kinds of things.  So glad people have posted about these scams artist.  I filed a report with our attorney general's office and went to local police.  Since I didn't pay any money out, they didn't take a report.  However, a police officer in my town suggested that I contact the media and let them know what happened.  Not sure about doing that...but certainly hoping these jerks dont rip anyone reading this off.

I GOT A CALL TODAY. AN I HAVE STUFF GOING ON NOW OVER MONEY I THAT WAS GAVE TO ME. HAD ME SCARED SHITLESS. SO I CALLED MY LAWER GOOD THING I LOOKED THIS UP OR I WOULD HAVE PAYED MORE MONEY OUT. FOR NO REASON HOW DO THEY GET ARE NUM ANYWAY?

My husband also recieved a call from these scumbags, claiming to be "Check Services", in his case they gave him 1 hour to send over $1600, and would accept nothing less than our banks debit card information over the phone. He was so shaken up by the threats "Investigator Parks" was slinging at him that he foolishly went along with it. This happened a few days ago and he just told me today... well, I decided to do a little investigating of my own. They are at this point in time now going by the name "PMI" based in Buffalo, NY according to the bank trace I had preformed, I even have their account # OUR money went into. I have contacted the attorney general and they confirmed that it was indeed a scam..well "Investigator Parks", you made a very bad mistake when you decided to mess with this lady's family & finances...  Go ahead and give them the info they so desperately want, then you can PROSECUTE!!! It's going to be so fun to scam the scammers :)
